          * MEMORANDUM  FOR:  Deputy Director of Central Intelligence

             FROM          :  Robert W. Gambino
                              Director of Security

            VIA               Acting Deputy Director for Administration

            SUBJECT        :  Probable Compromise of Information Furnished
                              to the [ouse Select Committee on Intelligence



  -. I            1.  Action Requested:  Your approval is requested to
            assemble  an Agency-wide task force to conduct an overall
            damage  assessment of the classified documents and/or information
            previously  furnished by the Agency to the now defunct House
            Select  Committee on Intelligence (USC).
                  2.  Basic Data:  I have been concerned for some time with
             respect to the improper manner in which classified information
             supplied to the uSC by the Executive Branch was handled from a
             security standpoint and which culminated in the leak of the
             HSC's draft report to Daniel Schorr.  As you know, leaks of
             classified information to the news media by the HSC began
             shortly after its creation and continued throughout the life
             of that Committee.

                      In addition to the news leaks, there have been several
             allegations (both substantiated and unsubstantiated) concerning
             classified Agency and Intelligence Community documents which
             have found their way from the USC into the hands of unauthorized
             persons.  Two of these allegations have been referred to the
             Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and in at least one
             instance (the classified Agency documents found on the West
   *Coast by RD Associates) the FBI is conducting an active investi-
             gation.

                      The -House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct
   I   *     inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the leak of the
            [[SC's draft report to Daniel Schorr generated substantial
            testimony  by former members and staff of the HSC regarding the
